All I can say is "Whoa!, have we been busy!".

Lot's of great things happening around here, lots of new learning, especially about some very interesting, future oriented subjects: forums and online community software, specifically vBulletin and all of its attendant software cousins: vBSEO, PhotoPost, vBPortal and Zoints.

Developing an honest to god online community is akin to the "Holy Grail" of web development for one main reason: your website builds itself! With a lot of hard work and a genuine love for your subject matter its possible to build and cultivate a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who look to your site as source of information and enjoyment.

Here's how it works:
1. Purchase and install the Forum software and additional feature that are right for you.
2. Seed the initial site with as much useful and interesting content as you can muster.
3. Invite friends, visit discussion groups, blog about your new community to get new members.
4. Tend your community with care by providing active involvement and administrative direction.
5. Actually leave your house and see that there is still earth, sky, grass and other human beings on this planet.

OK, that last one is a joke, kind of... more like a warning there IS a learning curve involved with these packages, to be certain but the thing is this: there are online communities ABOUT online communities, seriously, forums about forums, where you can talk with other folks about seriously geeky stuff.
